Twilight
The year is almost over, and yet one of the greatest and most artistic releases of 2025 has just dropped. It is the fantastic concept album The Twilight Sutra by Californian space rockers 3rd Ear Experience. And from the band’s name over the title to the subtitle, everything about this is a perfect fit. This is music for sensory organs beyond the realms of mainstream medicine, this is the musical realisation of real twilight, and finally, this is a performance as theatralic as a ballet show. Seventeen tracks, four sides of vinyl or two CDs, and almost one and a half hours let the listeners dive into a fantastic world. Here, where the 1 and -1 come together, where light and dark are no opposites anymore, amidst the twilight, this deeply psychedelic journey.
Ballet
The Twilight Sutra is an elegant dance, a colourful performance of love and unity. Somewhere between space rock, psychedelia, and progressive rock, the two protagonists celebrate their consensual affection. 3rd Ear Experience present an artistic drama for at least eight senses, an expressive act that overcomes trouble and hardship. Embrace the dawning of an era of peace by turning up the volume and diving into this amazing tale.
